.Me Made May.

I only found out about this thing called "Me Made May" on Friday so I guess I missed the official start, but since I've been wearing something self-made every day I thought I could start my own guerrilla-"Me Made May". I have to remember to attend this officially next year :) Although I think it's more like norm than abnormality that I wear something that I've knitted, since I don't own any store-bought woollen stockings and I only have one beanie that I didn't knit myself.

So here we go, my guerrilla-MMM this far.

On first of May I wore my new Honey beanie to eat ice cream in the town square (they were having a fair there). May 2nd I had just finished my Keiko sweater so I had it on. On Saturday (May 3rd) I was wearing a cardigan that I have knitted a few years ago as well as my Rumpelstiltskin socks.

Sunday (May 4th) was my stay at home -day so here I am, knitting my Dessine-Moi Un Mouton sweater and wearing my self-made long socks with deers. And then there's me today coming home from work, wearing my maroon Cousteau hat. I added another photo from Friday when I was taking project photos from Ravelry, I'm wearing the Honey beanie in it as well.

Here is the pattern for the berets I've knitted. The name for the beret is from the t-shirt I was wearing when I took the project photos of the first beret for Ravelry. I thought the name suited the beret, since it's quite classical take on the hat that has become the icon of everything French. Happy knitting!

This is so long overdue, but I have now finally managed to write down the pattern for the Cloud mittens. Here it is, my Christmas present to all you guys! Enjoy!

Before my preganancy I started to read about capsule wardrobes and decided to try and minimize my own pile of clothes. During these past two years I've been trying to define my own stye by really focusing on which clothes I wear over and over again, and which ones are just taking space in my closet. And the results have been a bit surprising. I have always thought of myself as a colorful person and I thought I loved a bit quirky clothes. But the fact is I don't actually dress the way I imagined I do. I mean, I own(ed) those kind of clothes, but I seldom wear (wore) them. In the reality I kept reaching for the same basics over and over again and feeling the most comfortable wearing them. I do love colors, just not wearing them. It meant I had to redefine my style, my "uniform" and also my knitting queue. I cleaned away everything I didn't really wear and started to buy good quality basics instead. I also cleaned my knitting queue, replacing things that I liked only…

Cats, Brunch And A Lot Of Knitting.

I'm a furniture conservator and part time fitness instructor, living on the Swedish speaking coast of Finland with my husband, our baby boy (born in August 2015) and lazy cat Luna.

I write this blog mostly to keep track of my knitting projects, baking successes (and disasters), what I've been reading and other shenanigans I want to remember, but also to share my knitting patterns and wheat-free baking recipes with anyone who is interested.

You can also find me on Ravelry, my username is sarijaotto.
